note 50896 added to control-structures.switch

In the post: ---------------------------------------------------- design at hyperoptix dot com 18-Feb-2004 12:46 Boolean logic does not work inside case statements: <?php $x = 18; $y = 6; switch ($x) { case (($y * 4) || (9 * 3)): echo "Member"; break; default: echo "Not a member"; } ?> echoes "Member". ---------------------------------------------------- there were many responses but all seem to miss the point. You cannot mix apples and oranges. The "switch($x)" establishes that this "switch" statement will be a Relational syntax while the "case" qualifier uses a Logical syntax. There must be a match. Either change "switch($x)" to "switch(true)" or change "case(($y * 4) || (9 * 3)):" to resolve to a value. The syntax of the original post is like a cop that says, "I want all of your answers to reflect truth. So, are you eighteen?" The respondent says, " 4 x 4 or 11 + 5".
